Frequency of convictions for lying on FAA medical form

Just ask the FAA, statistics must be reported.

But like most FAA enforcement, investigations follow

for dead pilots, although there may be torts for innocent
losses.

Doesn't need to be a dead pilot, just a fatal accident (someone
other than the pilot may have died)...

Just to reiterate what I said before, if I am involved in an accident where
someone dies, the last thing on my mind is going to be financial penalties.
That would haunt me for the rest of my life (whether I was at fault or
not). My main concern is getting my ticket, and slapped with a huge fine
from the FAA finding out about my ommisions through other channels
(insurance, DEA, etc).

Aren't you a bit worried about Google Groups archiving this admission, with
what looks like your real name, well into the next century?

Admissions? Maybe I missed it, but I didn't see the OP admit anything.
Just asked a few 'What if...' questions.

Very true.

She also seems to have evaporated after I mentioned it.

Sally, if you're worried about it you can go to Google Groups and have your
posts removed from the archive.

Nope, still here. The thread has drifted somewhat from my original question
, so I am guessing the answer is not known. I have not responded to posts
such as "You are claiming all pilots are pathological liars" or "Your
question is boring" because they are obvious flamebait.

Thanks for the tip. I'm not worried about the FAA looking through the
archives; if anything, my concern would be an overzealous participant in
this NG trying to raise a stink. In any event, I have taken the necessary
precautions

It doesn't contain an admission of anything.

Well, don't kill anyone and you'll never be noticed..What, exactly, did you
do that requires discipline? Your "main concern" is boring.

But if the pilot dies, he won't be prosecuted. That was the
point.
